If the line runs down to the Heart line, money difficulties will arise in married life. (See [Fig. B.])
If the line ends in a fork, there are fears of quarrels and, perhaps, separations. (See [Fig. C.])
If the line runs up and touches the Fate line, marriage will bring many successes.
If there is practically no length to the actual marriage line, but a fork appears almost at the commencement, it is a clear proof that troubles will arise and prevent the owner from marrying when he or she desires it. There will be delays, postponements and other difficulties, but they will be overcome in the end. (See [Fig. D.])
If there is an island where the line should commence, this may be taken as a sign that the possessor is not a suitable person for marriage. But, if the line is a good one, after the island is past, there are hopes that he or she will mend. (See [Fig. E.])
If the marriage line hardly exists or does not appear at all, it is a sign of single blessedness through life.
If the marriage line on the right hand is minutely examined, short hair lines may be seen rising upwards from it. The number of these denotes the number of children of the marriage. It is usually said that the perpendicular lines represent the boys and the slanting lines the girls. As these lines are often very indistinct, it may be necessary to dust the hand with a dab of face-powder, in order to see them.
